Thanks Oprah, just what we need, another talk show!

Family-friendly, Oprah approved!

Coming to a Daytime TV near you!

When the end of the world comes, not only will the roaches survive, but so will talk shows!

The super wealthy know-it-all who launched Dr. Phil and Rachael Ray’s syndicated talk-shows, Queen Oprah, will clog up  daytime TV with more dribble, this time with sometimes rarely hardly-ever funny lady Jenny McCarthy.  I guess she feels that people will relate to that whole crusade against autism thing about Ms. McCarthy…which I guess is probably true.

But if you had told me back in the ol’ 90′s that the annoying blond hostess from MTV’s “Singled Out” was going to some day be Oprah’s little apprentice I would have laughed uncontrollably, spitting out my Zima all over your Nirvana t-shirt and then cackled and cackled until my Blues Traveler CD fell out of my flannel vest and then got ran over by a moped.  I guess what I’m trying to say here is that A LOT has changed since the decade before this one.

Anyway, here is the proof that I’m not messing with you.  And don’t start programming your Tivo just yet, these syndicated talk-show things take awhile to actually come together…you know, they have to pick out the right chairs and pastel paints for the set, and what not.  Bleh!

Did I say Happy Monday yet?

You would think they were in cahoots to take over the world…

…I’m talking about none other than Susan Boyle & playful puppies!

Every damn time I went online this weekend I was bombarded with links to overnight singing-sensation Susan Boyle’s early singing days and the video of the black and white puppy who likes to play hide-n-seek.

OMG, wake me up when this crap blows over.

I admit, I was on the Susan Boyle bandwagon when it first crossed my street corner.  But now that it is on a constant drive-by loop I am so over it.  I wish her luck and she deserves  major accolades for that voice, but sheesh, enough with the press overkill.  I guess the vulture-zombie-paparazzi are getting bored with the partying half-dressed celebridiots they usually cover.

…and then…

all the cute animal videos!  Again, I admit, I am totally a blubbering fool when it comes to clips of cats/dogs doing awesome things like singing, puking, swatting at toys, riding household appliances, but I don’t really need them to be right up there with real news alerts.  A dog playing hide-and-seek is not swine flu or the economic crisis!  It is a way to burn three minutes at work, not compete with breaking news coverage.

Ugh.

Oh, yeah, and Happy Monday.
